They tied up briefly beforehand. No excuse for getting sucker punched when your looking straight at someone. Kid was weak and bit off more than he could chew. Obviously talked mad shit got his bitch card pulled and then tried to run out of the ring. Also leaving his fighter that was just kicked in the face 10 steps behind him while he tucked tail. Refs take a lot of shit at these local shows

Agreed you shouldn’t have to worry about a ref blitzing you in your chin but that doesn’t give you free range to say whatever you want either. No I don’t know what was said but I’m sure it wasn’t ” hey Jim how are the wife and kids? See you at the golf course tomorrow!”

This is why you don’t shove someone unless you really want to fight them. Still, it shouldn’t have been that easy to provoke the ref. The winning fighter ended up looking pretty classy, especially compared to everyone else involved.

1. People seem to forget that the majority of combat sport refs were actually athletes themselves before they started reffing so be careful who u want to scrap with.
2. It doesn’t matter who started it, that ref should be fired and it looks like he will be too.

The Ref isn’t to blame. He was doing his job and some dumbass wanted to act tough because his fighter lost. This video is from months ago the dude was making threats and acted hostile.and most accounts from people who were actually in attendance agree that the Ref did what anyone would have in that situation. Rewatch the video the Ref was outsized, it’s not like he was trying to bully the guy

This is about 2-3 years old. This happened in Knoxville, TN, my hometown. I wasn’t there but this was right after they legalized MMA in Tennessee. Not a good thing to happen right after the law was passed. It’s stupid on both parties.

Watched the video a few times and went from thinking ‘good guy got ko for runnin his mouth to pushin him’ to realizing that the ref actually pursued him and grabbed his arm preventing him from walking away than easily ko him for trying to push the ref away from him. Obviously the refs at fault and far from proffessional.

Hello there. I wanted to drop you a fast note in order to express my personal thanks. I have in addition been following your web site for a month or so in addition to have picked up a lot of immense information and facts as well as appreciated the way you’ve organised your own site. I am attempting to manage my personal internet site but I consider it is way extremely standard plus as well I want to concentrate further on smaller topics. Being all things to all folks is not all that its cracked up to be.

i love it…typical mma fan..talking real hard getting in your face…he got what he deserved…dont get in someone face unless u ready to fight…if your gonna tucl tail then stay the fuk out the face….there was no reason get mad at the ref////hahhah that was not at all a cheap shot…all you pussy that say it a cheap shit have nooo fighting ability…a cheaop shot is from behind or not seen..punching fast so u cant block it is skill morons..totally deserved that

I’m gonna watch it again… But it seemed to me like the ref… Put hands on the dude… Lol… Dude squared up… Dude fell down…. Stone cold knocked the fuck out!!!!!. Ahahahahahahahahahahaha… That was some funny shit… Every little bitch … Jumpin bad should get his chin checked..I really think it should be a law… His bitch ass got KTFO!!!.. what was he thinking?… Getting into a ring… He shoulda been getn into … A kitchen… To make me a. Sammich… Bitch… Ahahahahahahahaa

Angle… Looks good to be…. Betr ko… Than the one the dude was bitching about…. He got in the ring… Mad…. That ain’t how u get KTFO…. this is….. Ahahahahahaahhahahahahahahahahahaha

Everybody here is cheering for the ref ? nice MMA fans u are.. The ref should be an example the worst ref ever. Ur a professional u do that shit u don’t deserve to ever watch a MMA fight again. It’s perfectly normal to act emotional as a cornerman the ref should calm the man down not fight him. I hope he gets fired and become a garbageman.

Wow what a piece of shit this isnt outside the cage ur not tough this refs really a jerk off ur in a cage of professionals this guy maybe had some words but he didn’t raise his hands too him ur supposed to be a professional act like it.even the cornerman walked away of course he’s upset his fighter just lost. But he still not in a fight. What a sucker punch bitch this ref shld have gotten stomped and fired. For being a bitch.

That ref is Casey Oxendine and he is a very good mma coach and well respected in Tenn., N Carolina, and Virgina. He is better known for his ground game but as you can see his stand up is good as well. That card was BS and just thrown together Casey didnt know he was ref until he showed up to the show. Then there was all kinds of crap going on through out the show and yea Casey felt threatened so he def himself i have met and trained with him. He is very smart and kind very level headed he is not just some punk. To let you know what kinda show these promoters were runin the thing wasnt even sancioned so it brought a negative light on mma in Tenn And Casey went to many hearings to get it legal in Tenn. Casey is a class act and should not be missunderstood over this vid. He felt threatened and he reacted.
